Description

What is in the box

The set counts among the Duplo basic sets, meaning boxes that mainly supply material for free building. The 78 pieces consist of only 10 different elements. That is a deliberately small selection: few shapes in larger numbers make it easier for young children to get started, since they quickly see how the bricks belong together. The name suggests that wheels play an important part, and that is exactly what brings movement into play, because whatever is built can afterwards be pulled or pushed along.

Strong primary colours

The most common colours are red, bright green, blue and yellow. They are high in contrast and easy to recognise, which helps with sorting. With toddlers you can turn this into small challenges, such as stacking all the red bricks into a tower or building a vehicle entirely in blue. Because the set contains so few element types, such games are simpler, as hardly anything gets mixed up. The clear colour separation also helps when it is time to tidy up.

Build, roll, rebuild

No fixed model sits in the foreground; trying things out is what counts. A vehicle can turn out long, tall or tiny, and the next day it is taken apart again. Minifigures are not part of the contents, though Duplo figures from other sets make welcome passengers. Adults can help with building but should leave room for the child's own ideas. The set is small enough to take along on a journey as well.

Combining with other sets
